How I Learnt to Smile

Suddenly it came to me
A realisation 
But that’s not true at all 
No that’s not true at all

But piece by piece it came to me
Slowly and painfully 
It doesn’t matter now
But that’s not true at all 

All that came before
Isn’t changed
By how you feel right now
It just matters less

But what you do right now 
Is all you can control 
And you’re probably unhappy 
And that’s the way we tend to flow

But a little human
Interaction
Does
Go
Far

But don’t look for the answers 
In a bottle on a shelf
A smile from a stranger is
Much better for your health

This Snake Is Poisonous 

We’re a team
(You only have yourself to blame)
Come on team
(You only have yourself to blame)
Join our team
(You only have yourself to blame)
Come on team
(You only have yourself to blame)

We’ll welcome you
So you’ll become us
Speak just like us
Know our thoughts

But I can’t be a clone like you
Hive minds are dangerous 
This snake is poisonous 
Same shit same suit different shoes
I can’t kill myself for you
Profit
Power
Pinstripe noose

Urban Camouflage 
[pretty sure i was trying to write a Sepultura song]

Kappa culture
Taking over
Sheep just follow
Don't take cover

They do what the magazines tell them to do
They say what the magazines tell them to say
They wear what the magazines tell them to wear
It doesn't have to be this way

URBAN CAMOUFLAGE
SOCIAL SABOTAGE
URBAN CAMOUFLAGE
SOCIAL SABOTAGE

Mindless hatred
Now accepted
Just stop thinking
Life rejected

They do what the government tell them to do
They say what the government tell them to say
They kill who the government tell them to kill
It might just end up this way

URBAN CAMOUFLAGE

Murder The Tomato

Another dream that’s
Crashing down into the wasteland 
And the flames are so inglorious 
That fade before the sirens call

All that’s left is
Just a sense that all that could go wrong 
Will find it’s way to my front door
Delivered but not signed for

And all I’ve learnt from this
Is how to document my failings
Now they’re hanging from the railings
Torn and tattered like some
Idea that was never born
Just left to rot inside a broken metaphor
Which never can be right
Which never can be right

Control Freak

Sex, lies and email hacking
Two of those are your favourite pastimes 
Now you know a version of the truth
With digital proof

This new hypocrisy is
Really the tip of the iceberg 
We shall see
Whose ship is sunk

Is this how you get your kicks?
Create a complication 
So you control the situation 
It was such an easy trick
But I’m tired of explanations
It’s time to change this situation 

Control freak

Sex, lies and email hacking
The latter of these we may never prove
Content with your version of the truth
Your methods uncouth

Can you see how stubbornness 
Has made you so bitter and twisted 
A product of your own mistakes
But now that’s not my problem 

Is this how you get your kicks?
Create a situation
So you can show your domination
It was such an easy trick
But I’m tired of explanations
It’s time to change this situation 

Save a piece for posterity 
Justify your insanity 
The real problem 
Is your suspicion 
I’ll just count down the days until I
Find a place to call my own
Find a place that I’ll call home
No light footsteps
No permissions 
No blood flows from this incision 
Lack of bravery not courtesy 
The failing in me

Salvaged from the wreckage of a small town

I’ve known this for some time
and tried to keep some distance in my mind
but I can’t stop the spiral
Thoughts are keeping me awake at night
So save yourself from me
‘Cause in this state I’m poison to you all
I’m trying to do my best
Seems all i can do is hold on

if i can stop myself from falling
Maybe someday you will understand
But if I hit the bottom
I wont have the strength to climb back up

I hope a few good souls 
will take the time to lend a hand
And if they salvage me
I hope you’ll try to stop me fucking up

I’m acquainted with loneliness
all these years of school have shown me that
I know how it feels to be hated
And labelled by those who will never understand

But when i leave this town
There’s always something left to drag me back
Maybe it’s my own doing
But there’s no way to change what’s in my head

I’ve tried to put it down
but i’m too fucking stupid to ask for help
I know you’d be there when I need it
To take away the sting of loneliness

If I could give you all you need
I’d need a soul overdraft
Can’t keep taking loans from you
Because i’ll never pay it back

Take this ring
Cause i don't need it anymore
i’ve undone all my chains
But these handcuffs keep me warm

Classify 
All that you survey
Put it on a postcard
and send it to me

Hold on to me
so i cant leave
Come close to me

So i cant breathe

Made of Fail

Can this ever be complete
Check it over 5 times
And overheat
A status symbol static
Shows no progress
Been so very long

You tried to work it out
But no one is listening
These little touches wont show up
But we’re missing the point
It’s not a competition

Could have put you to the test
Check the results 5 times
You’re not the best
So please stop clinging on now
Tired of waiting for you to disappear.

You’ve seen the result
In gold that’s glistening
Nobody told you that 
The trophy’s made of fail.

Huthwaite Rockers 

Alright, Huthwaite Rockers in yer gaff, yer ready? come on

Wank, that’s the way your music plays out, 
shitting fuckin beats that yer mam would throw out
With yer words, cunt fuck shit fuck bollocks
not expecting essays on the work of Jackson Pollock

The product of an industry that’s on its fucking arse
If this is branded genius then genius is sparse
Yeah maybe guitar music got fucking boring
but how the fuck are these cunts still fucking touring?


This aint Sleaford Mods no this is Huthwaite Rockers
Steal all your clothes from a Water Meadows locker
You got dodgy dance moves like Jarvis Cocker
Swearing on the bus like you’re having a shocker

If you want some politics then here’s a word or two
Too many idiots still voting blue; that's the lies that they sell
Too the rich and the poor, there’s no trickle down economy 
there never was before

Yeah, 5th biggest economy and thousands using food banks
Far right on the rise, in disguise, that’s proper wank
Selling of the NHS, Cuts to every service
Now the DUP want control of your cervix
